What: Mother
In a nutshell: One of Denmark's most popular pizzerias is coming to town.
Summing it all up: Italian meets Danish with the arrival of Mother to Battersea. Best known in its native Denmark, this is their first spot out of that country and they'll have a big outdoor space too.
The low-down
We're becoming quickly aware of a LOT of pizza places opening in London at the moment. And this latest spot, Mother, has come all the way from Denmark. It's their first outside of the home country and they're looking to provide Italian cuisine matched with Danish design.
So what about those pizzas? It's a wood-fires Napoli sourdough style pizza with purified seawater as its base - and they claim that the base will be lighter than most. And that name refers back to the mother dough that it's all created from. On the menu (among others) will be:
- Prosciutto - tomato, mozzarella, pesto, rucola and proscuilto di Norcia
- Margherita - made from mother's own organic cheeses
- Burning Love - mozzarella, potatoes, fried onions & røget spæk
- Zuccone - smoked salmon, chives & courgette
- Pizza Porcella - tomato, mozzarella, organic sausage & porcini
- And also Carbonara, Gnocchi Alla Sorrentina and Lasagne
Based in Battersea, they'll also have a big outdoor space and buffet counters for weekend brunch.
